I have an ActiveX ComboBox and it uses a list to fill the drop down. When the user selects a company from the list, they click on the icon next to the ActiveX field to initiate the search macro. I would like to include code on the ActiveX ComboX so that when it loads, or is displayed, the ability to use the enter key is either disabled, or that the search macro is assigned to that keystroke. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks for the assistance.

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
how about

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_GotFocus()
    Application.OnKey "~", "NoEnter"
    Application.OnKey "{Enter}", "NoEnter"
End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox1_LostFocus()
    Application.OnKey "~", ""
    Application.OnKey "{Enter}", ""
End Sub

Is it possible to make the enter key run my search macro via "Call Search1" or something like that?

Put macro Search1 in a standard module and call it like this within the ComboBox code

Code:
    Application.OnKey "~", "Search1"
    Application.OnKey "{Enter}", "Search1"
